hello and welcome to technology regardless of where you live in moscow or anywhere else in the world. which we're all hoping for good help to keep us in tip top. in russia.

it's not surprising that.

still weren't perfect. whatsoever the position of leaflets inside the ring they create some amount of resistance so the pressure on the heart is generally as high as thirty forty or even fifty millimeters of mercury we figured out that it would be impossible to remove this obstacle as long as the leaflets were in the middle of the blood flow so we decided to place them outside the ring. for that the doctors turned to med inch precious premier hard valve maker those coming off the lines here are made of what's called monolithic pure a little carbon the materials obtained from ordinary natural gas as it's burned at temperatures up to fifteen hundred degrees celsius special of carbon collects on the walls of the reactor that's been collected and passed on for further reworking . but the main difference is that elsewhere pirelli to

carbon is based on a graphic foundation. that is a result. structure. when the show is undamaged there but the whole thing falls apart whenever there's a tiny crack. our material is better protected against such problems. getting that pure limit carbon they need is only the first step in the process before these black into rings can become potentially life saving valves they must be cut and chiseled into the right shape. and given the fact these are really going to be implanted inside someone's heart the repeatedly long the way for pinpoint accuracy. unlike many other valves out there many inches are made entirely out of pure little carbon that means that not only is this . but the leaflets are also made from super strong material. shaped just right

down using special equipment and that goes to be checked and cleaned once again from this point the two main components. put together in an absolutely room over the years the company has sold tens of thousands of their previous models in more than twenty five countries but thanks to their work. by creating an unobstructed channel through the middle. with a long life and reliability of mechanical one. form or shape is the same as that human body which enables even. without any of. the functions. we've just started. to run for a year and then start mass production sales. so far only

a handful of the brand new have been placed in the hands of capable surgeons when they do eventually hit the market will likely be plenty of demand in two thousand and eleven there were some twenty five thousand. and to avoid becoming another of those statistics you should do as i say not as i do for like this may be tasty but in excess it could lead to any number of health problems all the starch and sugar can wreak havoc on your teeth and might just land you under dental surgeons operating lights but. even that doesn't have to be as nail biting as it used to be for many people there's nothing more stressful than a visit to the doctor but many are turning to new technology. more invasive surgeries. to make the necessary cuts these are often perfect for surgery in the mouth because as it slices.

but this one being used just outside of moscow is of a new breed. which hit the market early in two thousand and twelve. thermal optics surgery based on the nano carbonized zation of light guides feedback and a high power laser allows us to significantly reduce the time it takes to perform a surgery. but this means tissues consume less energy which in turn reduces the risk of causing thermal damage to the tissues. this is especially important in operations on the oral mucosa these tissues are very fine and delicate. response. is a global partnership that's based on technology pioneered here in st petersburg the streets of the northern capital in winter months the laser related tech of some of the city's scientists is red hot. the principle that underlies many laser scalpels

. and has its roots at the st petersburg state university of information technology mechanics. don't make incisions with the laser. to do the cutting previously. the laser base just created. the temperature could and did. know how here the st petersburg institute. which they feel is head and shoulders above the competition. device support. system that controlled the temperature of the areas being operated on. depending on the required temperature. different configurations to see which. certain. materials can be used in the tips but

depending on how much of the laser light they absorb the varying temperatures. current cutting edge research takes place in st petersburg through photonics the company's production is located all the way across the globe. just outside of boston massachusetts in the united states where the truly international team applies the research and development carried out by the russian partners this allows these innovators to lean on the strengths of the individual companies. photonics is primarily responsible for innovation research development and commercialisation of the product in the russian federation in dental photonics is responsible for manufacturing and commercialization in international markets and we think that this is a very. successful the project because it allows us to. maximize the strengths of each party's in their respective graphic locales and also

leverage their capital resources most efficiently here in the u.s. the lasers are marketed as. the mother you see here is designed for soft tissue surgery but the company is currently working on a new fiber designed especially for cutting through hard. the unique design needs dental school simply swap out the soft tissue scalpel for a different one in theory that means dental surgeons have to invest and then entirely separate consul for different purposes. devices produced by a closest competitors in terms of power are much larger and much more complicated than the ones that we made some competitors make similarly sized devices but they're much less powerful than ours so our devices are quite well placed in the market they're compact easy to assemble highly efficient and can accurately control the optical power output. as you can see here the lasers. easily able to pierce

a piece of wood with only three pull through about fifty millimeters the resulting hole is smaller and more accurate than is possible with other surgical drills in theory such. could be used for pain this cavity drilling. in russia it was exhibited at the mosque. which was held this year all the devices they were produced intended for sale in the russian markets were completely sold out over the course of the two days of the show. here in russia the company and its technology is getting recognition all around and not just from buyers despite having only been set up a few years ago. a resident of which is essentially a big tech idea clearing house the status and advantages of joining that club will only help push the company and its lasers into the future.

more news today. these are the images. being from the streets of canada.

and that's why our breaking news story now this hour a passenger plane crash landed on one of moscow's main highways we understand that at least two people have been killed though there were eight people on board we believe they were all crew members in our skis here in the studio with us now what do you make of it while we know it's not two people it's three people which have been confirmed dead now and four people have been confirmed to see really injured and taken to hospitals we also have information from the from the defense ministry that eight people were on board so clearly one person his fate is still unknown whether he's injured or is just a survivor or maybe he's or she's dead we're waiting for any information on that from the authorities but we do know that the the airport the airport where this plane was landing and when it when it rolled onto the highway next to the airport

has resumed operations and now it accepts planes which are landing there the planes are taking off from the airport because for several hours it was completely paralyzed it was closed off obviously the emergency workers were trying to clear the runway from the rubble from the debris the debris of the plane. but now it resumed work and this will obviously be a good news to all those people trying to fly away from the from the airport we're still waiting for. for official line on exactly what happened but the main idea now is that this incident this accident was caused by a pilot error because this plane it is still unclear why it was almost empty it is designed to carry two hundred passengers more than two hundred passengers a generally very very reliable plane which never had a fatal incident before indeed what is the plane safety record you know much about that it has almost a perfect safety record for the deck. in operation it only had one crash landing

two years ago with no fatalities only just several injured this time we know that three people were killed so this clearly is the first time that the tuple of two or four plane had a fatal incident so we're waiting for the official on exactly what happened obviously there will be some kind of investigation by the vision authority but the bottom line is that the plane crashed into the highway into the steep hill which is proceeding the the highway the key of highway and broke into three pieces and very briefly how prepared with the emergency services be for this kind of thing well it looks like they were completely prepared despite that it's new year's time and everyone is starting to celebrate the still they were prepared and all the fire workers all the emergency services were there it's an airport and you know the measure of service have to be there so obviously they started work immediately when the when the as accident happened and a maybe the death toll could have been higher if not for the emergency workers

there who managed to put out the fire very quick ok we have to leave it there for now a passenger plane has crashed landed on one of moscow's main highways would bring you more on this as we get it herrick. major university is a variable treasure trove of knowledge in the form of both respected professors and millions upon millions of books however there is just not enough time in the day all our lives to get through them all but thanks to the labor of one tireless academic here that could all be changing comes to science and technology it's hard to find as prolific of an institution as moscow state university the hollowed halls here have been some of the globe's greatest thinkers and it was here back in the late one nine hundred sixty s.

that. teamed up with if you move lieberman to prove the existence of the electric potential difference across mitochondrial membranes that was a confirmation needed to help earn a british scientist the nobel prize perhaps more importantly that discovery could unlock the fountain of youth for us all. to understand we have to look inside each individual cell among the various organelles the most important for our purposes is the mitochondria and as these power plants pump out energy for the cell reactive oxygen species are also generated the build up of these so-called mitochondria can damage our in name d.n.a. and protein which is thought to be largely responsible for the physiological effects of aging. and his team hypothesized that this could be cut down by accident with the positively charged. doing so allows mitochondria negatively charged interior to attract the. compound that combination also helps.

that membrane which would otherwise absorb the fat soluble antioxidants in total more chemicals get to where they're needed most in the wake of dr postulation and research such positive ion delivery vehicles were nicknamed. since that time the topic has become a bit of a family affair with the good doctor getting involved now although the underlying idea originated back in the seventy's it wasn't put into practice until the one nine hundred ninety s. . we were in the first apply this principle. in fact it was michael. cohen. immediately told him that it wasn't a very good choice in terms of the anti-oxidant but by then he already made a lot of progress with that substance so he just threw his hands up and told me that his investors wouldn't forgive him if he changed the substance halfway through and said they were going to give it a shot. it takes ten to fifteen years. unfortunately

a lot of that time was lost in my opinion however no one can deny the honor of. our idea. since that first. accident dr school and other moscow state university researchers have been hard at work coming up with an antioxidant and delivery system pair that shows better results. from mike murphy who tried. to. have their wagon to a substance well accustomed to dealing with the build up of lots of oxygen plant chloroplasts. the thought being that since our green growing friends produce large amounts of oxygen for their own must be up to the task of keeping dangerous. the resulting compound which they call. is reported to be hundreds of times more

effective than any of the other variations previously. kill all this is based on the prep but it's programmed in our genetic makeup to slowly but surely kill. that program and you might just. more importantly stone the onset of. at least. so there is a good chance but it's not a certain effect yet so as a scientist to have my doubts what we're working on is rather a hypothesis but we have to try. health. and camp out in the.

preliminary positive results in arresting this change. needed before we. decided to take it step by step now we. have discovered that one can use this substance to make eyedrops so that it is efficient enough administered typically. a much easier path to the market. or to commercialize the technology a company called. dropped into the potential adverse side effects are much smaller than with something like a. traditional animals and then human clinical trials have to be passed the go ahead from russian health regulators earlier in two thousand and twelve and at the moment they're working on having it approved by western health agencies. are targeted at relieving chronic. increasingly impaired vision.

blindness but these russian made drugs are able to do much more. to find out how many have died as a result of. the. different picture when used extensively they greatly decrease the number of tissue sections effected by. doctors. as the first guinea pig even before he got the russian regulatory green. in my opinion the results pretty much speak for themselves. i'm very short sighted i started suffering from cataracts and i've had it for years. as a result of using the eye drops the cataract disappeared my myopia dropped from minus seven down.

but surely started getting there. without. they've already sold twenty five thousand bottles to various pharmacies. innovators this is just the first step.

operation from a dynamic local. operation. and then having.

these robotic simulators. different simulators for practicing minimally invasive surgery at the institute. of technology the difference is. we always keep a record of mistakes thanks to the video we were able to follow. it also shows the mistakes. possible impact. this exercise feels very true to life. receiving feedback. all of this enables the students. but the. complex is home to the inspiration behind. this so-called technology companies get

tax breaks and other business incentives to spur on the development of new ideas and projects before they came out with a. different kind of. truck simulators for russian government. working hand in hand with the company. trucks for the. actual. hydraulic systems the program. according to company. a much greater. and more precisely. an experience. but. even. a few tricky maneuvers. but military and truck drivers aren't

the only ones that could benefit from. getting out there. transport drivers. to practice. everything. however for the. patient is only half the. starting point. so the simulator. transporting the. two other doctors from that point on a different. surgery. the next logical step. to make training. the other aspects of. the company is working on creating

a training complex more than one hundred different medical branches needed for russia's health care system. and feel just right is a. more useful it is the time comes to put that. the company's production facility designers are constantly working to improve them . structures they've also been working on a skin like covering the feel of cutting through real life. is. becoming more lifelike. production. training complex robots. skilled computer programming. operation.

programers all the simulated guts on the inside would be more or less useless. every one of the models for a concrete could be a specific section or the whole body all together. designed for engineers can replicate the various systems and organs as closely as possible to real life compressors are used to mimic breathing. tanks and pumps through fluids for cardiovascular. systems and servo motors for joint movement. to the doctor's actions. programmers to recreate just about any problem imaginable. in the world there are four major companies in the business of making medical simulators. naturally each manufacturer does their best to stand out. about this kind of competition because we believe that it benefits the end consumer . competing companies there are. the better it is for the medical equipment market

so we feel that our devices are better than foreign ones in a number of ways first specifically for the russian healthcare system secondly we have introduced a new concept. with a number of ports which is unique to our company. with. an operating room together with a robot this is something our foreign competitors have yet to emulate. but i don't think there they recently got big backing for a project to build one of the largest innovative medical complexes in russia for now the plans are only on paper but they soon hope to break ground on a center that would bring many of the globe's leading institutions to. as you've seen today we hope that your next visit to the doctor and this holiday season. this .
